Adrenalin January 2021 edition (21.1.1) now available

I wonder if amd have changed the code that involves brightness controls....

Device manager update instructions


Begin with stock official Apple BootCamp drivers installed (do not uninstall with DDU or use setup.exe). If you have January edition installed on your MacBook Pro 16" then you can start with these drivers instead.

Open 'Device Manager' (search for it in the search box) and select your GPU from the 'Display adaptors' drop-down.

Right-click and select "Update driver"
.
Select "Browse my computer for drivers" (lower option) and navigate to the downloaded drivers folder. Make sure the 'Include subfolders' checkbox is ticked then click 'Next'.

The driver will now update with the screen flickering a couple of times.

To install the AMD software run "setup.exe" from the downloaded driver folder. Click on "Additional Options". Make sure the "Factory reset" checkbox is NOT ticked (it isn't by default normally), then click install.

Restart and enjoy!

Thank you for the tip, but I’m afraid that even after I followed those instructions, it still refused to install the AMD software properly even though I updated the drivers through the device manager as specified  

Black bars are back in AC valhalla... oh well, seems to be game specific -.-

Edit

And noticed that 5k resolution is gone... seems to be driver related after all...

Edit 2

I just reinstalled the blue drivers with safe mode and ddu - the issue is resolved. I'm guessing last big windows update changed something, hence the issues. Everything is fine after reinstalling the blue drivers though...

Indeed, and when I try to finish the install it throws Error 1603 in the AMD installer and it quits. I don’t get this error when I install the December 2020 drivers using same procedure. 

MBP 2019 16", 5500m 8gb.
I used to update regularly the RED drivers since Jan2020 doing the ddu technique.
1- This time, I used device manager, but I didn't change my driver first, so I think I started with Dec2020 which may be wrong?
My mbp would completely freeze as soon as I launch SteamVR, and Throttlestop would show Proshot 100 activated once I restart.
2- So I re-did the ddu technique 3 times, and I ticked "Factory reset".
But my mbp still freeze when I launch SteamVR, and I have the same proshot switching on.

a-Should I re-use ddu 3 times and try again, and if still issue reinstall the previous drivers that were working?
b- COuld someone re-explain the device manager technique, I think I didn't get it. (I guess I won't be able to use it now as I may have corrupted the drivers...)

Thanks for your help, and Matt keep the good work!

I have that with other Ubisoft games (AC Odyssey and the Fenyx Rising Demo). Set to Windowed mode instead of Full Screen and use Borderless Gaming. I was able to play AC Odyssey at 4k resolution that way.
